This can only be used with Barr SNA connections to a JES2 host.
The NJE auto-start feature using NetView is an optional feature for Barr SNA connections only. When the VTAM PU is activated, the NJE node establishes an SSCP session with VTAM. Barr SNA passes to VTAM a Network Management Vector Transport (NMVT) frame that contains an alert message. NetView’s automation facility can be configured to monitor for the alert and automatically start the NJE node when the alert is detected.
Complete the following steps to configure NetView to monitor for the alert and start the NJE node when the alert is detected.
In your local NetView DSIPARM data set, add a new Automation Table by creating a member (BARRALRT) with the statement shown below. Replace 'BAR6JES2' with the host node name (OWNNODE) of the JES2 system to which Barr is connecting.
*BEGIN; |
Include this new table in your default automation table (DSITBL01) by inserting a %INCLUDE BARRALRT statement. Alternatively, you can activate this table using the AUTOTBL MEMBER=BARRALRT command. To make sure the table is always active, add that command to your NetView startup procedures.
In the BARRALRT automation table (above), the EXEC (CMD(‘BARR$SN’)) statement refers to a clist to which NetView will pass control when the alert is detected. In your local NetView CLIST PDS (CNMCLST), create a member (BARR$SN) that contains the following instructions to be executed when the alert message is detected.
/* Rexx clist to issue jes $sn command */ 00010000 |
After you start NJE, Barr SNA sends an alert to VTAM. NetView detects the alert, calls the list, and starts the NJE node. You can use the NetView NPDA application to view details of the alert. The alert display will look something like the following:
